Bath repair at your home in East Moors
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about rust spots around the plughole and a cracked acrylic bath.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Landlord and trade work in East Moors
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can

Questions from East Moors
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover the entire of Cardiff?
The whole UK, including all of Cardiff. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Common problems we fix in East Moors
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- Holes from dropped items
- A chipped rim or side
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
Comparing quotes
- Aftercare advice
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
